Lyra, standing beside Chris, suddenly chimed in, “Chris, your wedding is tomorrow. Maybe try not to ogle every woman who crosses your path?”

Chris frowned, shooting her an annoyed glance. “Since when is being nice a crime?”

“Nice? There’s a fine line between being nice and being a creep,” Lyra retorted, firmly siding with Sophia. “Fine,” Chris muttered, knowing his little trick wasn’t working. He turned back to Jasmine. “Gorgeous,” he called out, flashing a grin. “How about you join us? That man there is undeserving of your attention. He’ll only try to scam your money.”

Jasmine gently touched Alex’s chin and smiled.

“Oh, Alex,” she said softly. “All I have is money. If that’s the only reason you’ll give me your attention, just name your price. I have a hundred million with me now. If that’s not enough, just tell me–I still have some more at home.”

“Lady,” Chris interrupted suddenly, trying to sound suave.

“You’re beautiful, and you don’t need to give money just to get attention. People would line up to give you all the attention you deserve!”

“Really?” Jasmine asked, her eyes narrowing in skepticism

“But I’m a lonely woman, and the only men I know are Alex and you. Since you can’t give me the attention I need, how can I believe your words? All I have is money, and I think it’s quite fair to exchange it for attention.”

Chris’s heart pounded.

If this woman was truly that desperate for attention, and all she had was money…

Chris’s gaze swept over her diamond–studded bracelet, her designer dress, the glinting watch on her wrist.

She was easily wearing fifty million worth of luxury. And clearly, she was loaded.

He could almost hear the gears in his head turning.

Should he dare to jump ship from Sophia to this new, rich opportunity? Sophia had nothing left to offer him now. And this woman was far more beautiful!

Before Chris could choose, Alex stepped in and looked at Jasmine.

“I don’t want your money, Jasmine. We’re friends. Let’s go to our seats.”

Jasmine chuckled softly, her eyes twinkling.

“See, Mr. Chris Roland, how can I believe you when you say this man is a scammer? I’ve offered him money, and he keeps refusing. Don’t you think he’s quite an outstanding man?”

“Outstanding? Are you kidding me?” Chris snapped, his facade cracking.

“He’s just playing hard to get. It’s all part of his act. Once you let your guard down, he’ll bleed you dry Trust me, he’s a loser of the highest order.”

“Well,” Jasmine said with a teasing smile, “I guess I’ll have to take that risk. Besides, he seems far more charming than you.”

Chris’s pride was wounded by Jasmine’s words, and his tore turned sharp as he lashed out.

“Listen, you’re making a huge mistake. This guy was thrown out by his own wife because he’s worthless. Being seen with him will only ruin your reputation. I’m doing you a favor by warning you.”

“Maybe,” Jasmine mused, locking eyes with Alex, “because I see something in him that her wife clearly doesn’t.”

Sophia’s gaze sharpened, her voice icy. “So you’ve known each other for a while, huh, Alex? Guess I was right- you were cheating on me all along.”

Alex sighed, his expression weary. “Believe whatever helps you sleep at night, Sophia. You never cared to hear the truth anyway.”

“Because I’m never wrong!” Sophia snapped, her eyes flashing with anger.

“But this time, you are,” Jasmine interjected, her smile unwavering.

“I just met him yesterday. When this morning I told him I liked him, he said he was married, and I was heartbroken. He’s never had an affair with me. So, I should thank you, really, for giving me the chance.”

“No need to thank me,” Sophia sneered. “He’s a nobody, a con artist. Frankly, calling him trash would be an insult to garbage.”

Jasmine’s eyes widened in mock surprise. “I never knew Sophia Lancaster held such high standards. Calling a guy

like Alex ‘average,‘ or even ‘trash’…”

She chuckled, her gaze shifting toward Chris. “The man you’re about to marry must be a real treasure then.”

“Of course!” Sophia snapped, refusing to back down. “He’s the CEO of BioHealth Solutions, his father works with the Kingstons at Elegance & Co, and he’s ranked highest in the international knight competition.” 1

At that, Jasmine burst into laughter, the sound rich and unrestrained. The room fell silent, all eyes turning toward
